Testnet is always a fertile land for newcomers in the crypto market who want to earn a portion of income without having to pay fees when there are projects that have airdropped thousands of dollars. In this article Weakhand will provide everyone with instructions for participating in the Berachain testnet, a Layer 1 built with a completely new model on the Cosmos ecosystem.
Berachain Overview
Berachain is a Layer 1 Blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK platform with Proof of Liquidity consensus mechanism. Besides, Berachain integrates Polaris VM allowing this Layer 1 to be easily compatible with EVM Smart Contract while still ensuring speed and connectivity with other Blockchains in the Cosmos ecosystem.
On April 20, 2023, Berachain announced successfully raising $42M in Series A round with a valuation of more than $420M and the participation of investment funds such as Polychain Capital, Shima Capital, Tribe Capital, Robot Ventures ,…
Currently, Berachain has started its testnet phase and recorded impressive numbers with 800K recorded wallet addresses and more than 11M transactions. It is expected that after the testnet phase ends in Q2, Berachain will conduct mainnet and launch tokens at that time.
